The ruling on a wife’s vow to perform 'Umrah for her parents from her own money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, this questioner says: I vowed that if Allah grants me a job, I will give my father and mother the means to perform 'Umrah from my own money, so that they can perform 'Umrah from my own money. My husband has refused this. Am I required to carry this out, even though my father has passed away?
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The questioner says: If Allah grants me personal wealth, I vowed to give my father and mother the means to perform 'Umrah from my own money, and the husband refused this.
The Shaykh : To give them.
The questioner : Yes, he says: We need this money?
The Shaykh : I say: The husband has no right to dispose of his wife’s money. She is free with her money; she may give it in charity, put it in a mosque, or give it to her parents. He has no right to prevent her from anything, because she is free with her money and is not under guardianship. Now, since she vowed to give her mother and father what they need to perform 'Umrah, if the mother is able to perform 'Umrah, she gives her what she needs to perform it. As for the father, she appoints someone to perform 'Umrah on his behalf; that is, she gives a trustworthy person money to perform 'Umrah on behalf of her father.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
